I have been using Mozilla Firefox for about a week now. I definitely do not like it. Compared to Internet Explorer, however I still prefer it. My favorite browser is Mozilla. I guess they are calling it a suite now. It just has all the options I like and/or am used to. First I got to have autocomplete for text. I hate having to push the down arrow. That and I want it to only autocomplete addresses that I have manually typed. I prefer the way Mozilla downloads. There were also some other things I miss as well, but can not remember. And of course, I must have my LCARs star trek theme. Unfortunately, Mozilla is being a whore right now. On two computers, it will install sort of. The install seems to be at the end, then it will quit. In the add/remove panel, it says it is installed. However when clicking on it, nothing happens. It is like clicking on a shortcut that goes nowhere. So here I am stuck with Firefox. I need to download the latest beta or alpha. I have never had a problem with either type yet. Maybe that will fix the problem. On strong point of using Firefox is the one-click clear all for people who are concerned about history and such. This was pointed out to me by someone who needed the privacy. Fortunately, I don not; see earlier post.
Also last week when I was going through the computer mess, I managed to get my 2000 machine going with 640x480 16 color resolution so I could log into astrowars. During that short time without a firewall, I picked up a virus. Some kind of spybot, W32.spybot.worm. Some ass was randomly sending it out to IP addresses and got a hit on mine. Very annoying but I easily cleaned it out.
Both machines are working fine now. The documents folder was intact; the benefit from using a different user name each time. I need to download some Visual Basic library to make the astotoolpak work. Plus reinstall all my old programs. But on the plus side, because of this incident, I may get a new 64bit Athlon 64. Then of course I will move to Linux as my main computer. I could go with the 32bit sempron, but I do not really see the point. I would just as soon stay with what I got till the 64bit becomes cheaper.
Also noteworthy, I started back with the dumbbells, after about a week off. Feels great. I take about an hour to do my stuff. Now I need to get in about an hour of aerobic exercises. I was thinking of getting a dancepad for my playstation and working out to DDR, but my playstation is old.
